If it's only for *plotting*, then I think GNUplot is capable of this. I never used this feature so I can't tell how exactly it works, but startpage is your friend.

It is free, [0]. There are other free licenses that forbid making modified sources, but allow distribution of unmodified source and patch or a modified binary. I don't know plotting software, I use them only via Maxima or Octave. [0] https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#gnuplot

Which kernel are you on? Latest might be most useful or perhaps the latest backported saucy kernel. One silly idea is to try different USB ports as they might give different amount of power and interference. I found this interesting on zero packet loss, not that I claim to fully

I've tried this on every kernel release so far with the same results. So if it is a kernel issue then I haven't hit on one without the problem. Different USB ports have been tried, as did connecting through the same USB to a different wireless device and seeing 0 packet loss. Buffer-bloat
